What are you feeding the TLC dogs?

What diet are the TLC dogs and puppies on?

Depending on who is fostering a TLC dog or puppy, the diet will be different, just as there are MANY different methods and products of pet food products.

If Linda is the foster, she home cooks for her dogs and the fosters alike. She's typed out what she does and we've included it in the Resources section of the TLC under Nutrition - Linda's Home Cooked Diet.

Check to see who is fostering the dog or puppy you're interested in, and ask them for the specifics of their diet.

In general however, TLC advocates the feeding of premium dog foods - less fillers and additives means better health for the dogs, as well as 'less' coming out the other end... what dogs cannot digest well (corn, wheat, etc.), they pass on through their digestive system for us to pick up and dispose of. While the purchase price might be higher on premium dog food, at the end you are feeding less in volume, but of a better quality.
